Since benign brain tumours do not generally recur, surgery is the usual first line treatment. Highly skilled surgeons will remove as much of the benign brain tumour as possible without taking any healthy brain tissue or causing damage to the surrounding area.

Who is it for?
For those who have deep tumours in the brain
Benign brain tumour treatment consultation at The London Clinic
This is very delicate surgery and may take many hours involving microsurgery and robotic surgery if appropriate. Traditional surgery is appropriate for benign brain tumours that are easy to access, such as meningiomas.
However, where the tumour is situated deep within the brain, it is often not possible to carry out traditional brain tumour surgery without causing significant damage. In this case, radiosurgery is now an effective alternative.
By applying a highly focused, high energy radiation beam to kill the cells within the benign brain tumour, the rapidly growing cells can be dealt with leaving the normal brain tissue relatively unscathed.
Treatment overview
CyberKnife for benign brain tumours
One of the most advanced radiosurgery techniques is done with a CyberKnife®. This is a state of the art system of stereotactic radiosurgery for both malignant and benign brain tumours. Stereotactic radiosurgery delivers precisely targeted radiation using a series of reference points in 3 dimensions.
CyberKnife radiosurgery uses a complex image guidance system to precisely focus the beam of radiation onto the site of benign brain tumours, creating a beam as narrow as 5 mm or as wide as 60 mm. CyberKnife radiosurgery is accurate to within half a centimetre, ensuring that the radiation destroys the benign brain tumour cells without damaging the surrounding cells.
Beating a benign brain tumour
It is unlikely that a benign brain tumour will grow back once it has been removed, but you will need to be scanned regularly following surgery to confirm that this is the case.
